The use of mineral oil is the re- cognized treatment for consti- pation, and the purest form of mineral oil is Nujol. It acts as a simple mechanical lubricant. It won't relieve constipation over night—don’t expect it to. But it will restore normal activity of the bowels in the course of a week or ten days under ordinary conditions.’’ Nujol isentirely free from the dangers which attend the use of habit-forming laxatives and cathartics. It does not act like a medicine—a physic or purge, but oils the walls of the intestines as a delicate machine is oiled, and thus facilitates the passage of wastc matter. Nujol ts odorless, tasteless and color- less. It ean be taken in any quantity without harm.

ARTILLERY BATTLE: AT“LABYRINTH” INDRIVE AT LILLE | Paris War Office fice Reports That Germans Have Suffered “Very Heavy” Losses. PARIS, Noy. 15.—The following re- port was given out to-day by the, French War Office: “In the Artois distri¢t, at ‘The Labyrinth’ the fighting between in- fantry forces, together with the throwing of hand grenades, continued without Interruption last night. It haa been confirmed that the losses of the enemy during the action of yes- terday were very heavy. “In the Champagne district the Germans have attacked with hand grenndes the barriers erected in front of our listening posts at Butte de Tahure. They were repulsed. “In the Woeyre, to the north of Clrey, the explosion of one of our mines, together with the very sus- tained fire of our trench guns, over- whelmed the enemy and demolished hia sapping works.” Correspondents who have been per- mitted to inspect the French lines in the “sector north of Arras,” in the Artols region, have returned to Paris with the report that the Anglo-French artillery has opened fire to pave the way for another grand offensive in that section of France in the effort to retake Lille, These correspondents declare that for miles great guns are almost wheel to wheel, pounding the German lines incessantly, preparing for the re- newed Infantry drive, The artillery fire is said to be even more intense than that which preceded the attack in this district and in the Champagne a fow weeks ago. BERLIN, (via wireless to Sayville) Nov. 15.—On the western front the War Office announced to-day the Germans stormed a French trench 300 yarda long, northeast of Bourie. ——— MPCALL HELD OTHER STOCKS, EXPERTS FIND IN EXAMINATION (Continued from First Page.) County Electric Light & Power Co. He was debited with $23,299.12 as the amount he owed on the account and credited with the same amount as the value of the stocks. ‘THE GOOD THING” M'CALL WAS LET IN ON. Market quotations for the stocks on that day, however, gave him a margin of $9,000, as the Kings County stock Was selling at $185 per share then and was charged against him on the books at only $100 per share. This evidently was the good thing whicn McCall testified to being let in on, Without an examination of the Payne & Van Antwerp books it is not possible to say what McCall paid for this stock originally or what margin, it any, he put up. William C, Van Antwerp, now a governor of the Stock Exchange, sald to-day: “I do not remember any details of the McCall account. I know that he carried one with our firm, but that it along with our other open accounts was transferred over to E. R. Chap- man & Co., when we went out of busl- ness, I have no recollection of what margin he had on deposit with us or the price paid for the aéeurities.” McCall never was called upon to put up a dollar of margin in the five years he carried an open account with Chap- man & Co., although at times his debit ran above $40,000, ‘The margin of pro- tection for the firm lay in the market price of the Kings County Electric stock, which was carried in the McCall account at par and was selling for considerably above that. ‘The Pacific Mail and United States Rubber stocks were losing ventures for McCall and after carrying them along for a year or two heordered them gold out atsome loss and made aplunge on Northern Securities Company. He bought 200 shares of this stock at 107 1-2 and after six months sold {t out at 1651-2, making a profit of approx- imately $11,500, This sum was cred- ited to his account on the books of Chapman & Co. MICALL NEVER DREW OUT ANY OF THE MONEY. evidently let it apply on account of purchase of Kings County Electric stock, This company increased its stock from time to time and gave its stockholders the right to subscribe to additional shares at par, although the market price was higher. McCall di- rected Ws brokers to take up all these rights ax they came along and the brokers sent their check for the amount due to the company, debiting his account with the amount thus paid out. In this way the original 118 shares grew In a few years to 387 jshares at $100 per shi rhe divi- dends, too, were all credited to the account.

This new block of stock was charged against McCall on Chapman & Company's books at $8,500 and was carried along without any deposit of margain until Dee, 27, 1907, when the account was transferred over to Wat- | erman, Authony & Company.

We are ready and anxious to go ahead. Although the charges in their present form are general we propose making thm specific a8 soon as we meet to- morrow, Some time this week we will draw up a full bill of particulars, “Judge McCall ts entitled to a copy of this bill and he can have one if he desires. Of course the last charge in the specifications {8 in blanket form and perhaps the committee will have difficulty in proving it But the real proposition 1s that the Public Service Commission of the First District has machinery too weak to regulate and supervise the agencies it 1s supposed to supervise.
